Watching the events unfold in Egypt and Tunisia

As one expert said the other day on a network news show, revolutions are organic. There is not much once one gets going outsiders can do about it but they happen ... was the inference.  We are now watching two unfold this past week. One of the demonstrators in Tunisia was asked what he wanted: he virtually recited the first ten amendments of our US Constitution. We can only hope they get the freedoms they seek and not some Islamist group inflicting another kind of suppressive regime on them. Godspeed brave demonstrators.
